That information is written into the requires: line of the generated 
.hint (e.g. nnn-4.6-1.x86_64/dist/nnn/nnn-4.6-1.hint)

Ideally we'd have some mode of setup where you could write e.g setup -P 
./nnn-4.6-1.tar.xz and it would install that just built package and it's 
dependencies, but SHTDI.

(https://cygwin.com/packaging-contributors-guide.html#installing 
somewhat discusses this lack...)
